On the one hand, Tramp will be available with Emacs 21.4, so its availability is not that much of a problem. On the other hand, it's not clear to me that much of the Tramp infrastructure could be used for a filename handler that uses IMAP. Probably it could just as easily be implemented as its own filename handler. The filename handler doesn't need to be that complete, either: just enough to load/store the config data. Filename completion and that stuff isn't really needed, I think. -- Ambibibentists unite!
